Student Art Exhibition
Celebrating a new generation of artists
A key element of the Edmonds Arts Festival’s mission is to promote exposure to art and art education to the youth in our community. Partnering with the Edmonds School District, the Festival is one of the premier student art events in the United States, displaying more than 1,100 pieces of art from K-12 students. The 2024 gallery showcased art from 32 Edmonds School District schools, private schools, and individual home-schooled students residing within the boundaries of the Edmonds School District.
Student Art Participation
Artwork is selected through two different procedures, School Select and Open Class.
School Select: Based on student population, each participating school is given an allotment of pieces they may display. It is the school’s choice as to how they decide which pieces to submit.
Open Class Select: K-12 student artists who do not have the School Select option, or did not qualify through the School Select program, are invited to submit art for consideration through Open Class selection. Open Class is juried by two professional artists.
